This unit provides students with the basic knowledge of Information Technology (IT) concepts in various areas of web, computer networking, Information and Communications Technology (ICT), Bitcoin, blockchain, IT security, machine learning, artificial intelligence, data analytics, wireless networks, cloud computing, Internet of things (IoT), and virtual reality.

This unit teaches students the principles and practices that are required by a professional IT practitioner. This requires communication skills and interpersonal behaviour to ascertain the varying objectives of diverse stakeholders, convert those objectives into a solid requirements analysis, and convey the associated outcomes in a manner that culminates in clarity and understanding. Underpinning this are capabilities that pertain to teamwork, problem-solving and ethical decision-making, all of which are likewise addressed in this unit.

This unit introduces the fundamentals of computer systems and the software that controls them. Topics include computer architectures, digital logic, number systems, assembly programming, operating systems, algorithms, programming languages (Python), flowcharts, pseudocode, cloud computing and the future with IT.

This unit uses the case study method to teach students how to understand and explain a set of IT project specifications. Students will also learn how to apply various IT modelling techniques to produce a requirements specification. By the end of the unit, students will have developed skills on the use of Agile Modelling frameworks to structure and document the requirements analysis process.

This unit conveys the knowledge and skills required to understand a Relational Database Management System (RDBMS). Students are taught about database tables via the use of Entity Relationship Models (ERM), Data Definition Language (DDL) and Data Management Language (DML) and queries. Students are additionally taught how to read and write data from and to tables using Structured Query Language (SQL). Other RDBMS-related concepts such as Data Normalisation and Security are also addressed.

This unit introduces students to the fundamentals of information, communication and computer networks. It comprises content related to internet architecture and associated protocols, inclusive of network layer architectures, addressing and routing. By the end of the unit, students will have also gained knowledge and skills pertaining to electronic data communication and standard industry practices.

This unit provides students with an introduction to cyber security with a focus on identifying and understanding the vulnerabilities and threats pertaining to an organisation's IT infrastructure. This unit also explores the countermeasures that could be implemented to mitigate these risks. In addition, this unit addresses the fundamentals of authentication and authorisation controls, data encryption, web and mobile security, operating system security, as well as the privacy and legal considerations associated with cyber security.

This unit teaches students the fundamental principles and practices of project management and the effective delivery of IT services, processes and systems within organisations. Students learn to prepare appropriate project plans, are prepared to ensure on-time and on-budget outcomes, and will be required to present their work to an industry stakeholder.

This unit introduces students to mathematical computer packages so they can perform basic mathematical procedures and solve problems in the general area of discrete mathematics. The learning includes graphing functions, solving equations graphically and iteratively, analysing logical arguments, obtaining truth tables for Boolean expressions, and designing logic networks.
